The positive way to look at it is that Sony sees theatrical exhibition as being worth seriously investing in. That points to an anticipated health of that side of the industry.

I do want to point out....exhibition was a lot different when the paramount decree was passed compared to now.

that's true, this is an overall positive for the industry because it openly shows everyone including the industry that Sony wants to invest and keep theaters Alive and a good future investment.

Overall not surprising that Sony is the studio to buy a theater too considering they don’t have a streaming service so yeah, theatrical is certainly where they focus.
